A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy, and Safety of Subcutaneous Pembrolizumab Coformulated With Hyaluronidase (MK-3475A) in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (rrcHL) or Relapsed or Refractory Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma (rrPMBCL)

Description

The primary purpose of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) following subcutaneous (SC) injection of pembrolizumab coformulated with hyaluronidase (MK-3475A), and to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of MK-3475A SC in adult participants with Relapsed or Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (rrcHL) or Relapsed or Refractory Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma (rrPMBCL). There is no formal hypothesis to be tested for this study.
